Wrestling has been part of Senegalese village life for hundreds of years. After the harvest, young people would wrestle to celebrate. Today it has become a huge professional sport, with star wrestlers known by nicknames like 'Bombardier' or 'Yékini', and crowds of tens of thousands filling stadiums.
Before the match, there's an amazing build-up. Each wrestler enters the ring with drummers, dancers and singers from their team. There is incense, songs and a lot of strutting around. Some wrestlers spend more time on the entrance than the fight itself - the show is part of the sport.
The wrestlers are huge - many of them weigh 100 kg or more, with shaved heads and bare feet. They wear a special belt called a 'nguimb' and shorts. They rub themselves with a mix of oil and herbs that is supposed to bring good luck.
Matches can be over in seconds, or last 20 minutes. The whole stadium watches in near-silence during the wrestling itself - the only sounds are bare feet on sand. The moment someone falls, the drums start again and the crowd erupts.
